How does Chapter 10 describe Sai Baba's sleeping arrangements, and what does this reveal about his divine nature?

📖 Chapter 10

Chapter 10 provides a fascinating account of Sai Baba's sleeping habits, which highlighted his extraordinary powers. He would sleep on a narrow wooden plank, only about nine inches wide, which was suspended from the ceiling rafters with old rags like a swing. Astonishingly, lamps would remain burning at his head and feet. The text emphasizes that his movements were imperceptible; no one ever witnessed him climbing onto or descending from this precarious plank. As Chapter 10 explains, this was a testament to the Great Siddhis (powers) he possessed, suggesting the plank was "merely for name’s sake" and could not have supported him without his divine abilities. This demonstrates that his true nature was beyond the constraints of ordinary physical laws.
